Cavitation: Liposuction Without Surgery

The fat busting Cavitation treatment at Glow is a fast and non-surgical therapy similar to liposuction, that destroys fat in the areas of the stomach, thighs, bottom and arms without the pain and downtime associated with surgical treatments.

When fat cavitation first emerged on the fat-fighting scene four years ago Glow was one of the first to trial the treatment. “Although impressed with the fat-busting technology, the overall results just weren’t good enough to offer Glow’s clients as a real weight loss solution. The missing ‘ingredient’ was proper lymphatic massage to flush out the broken down fat. Which is why each fat cavitation treatment at Glow includes the lymphatic drainage Presor treatment for the optimal outcomes.”

In one study conducted in 2013, the authors reported that in a triple-blind trial, the group who received cavitation ultrasound treatment twice a week for six weeks had a significant decrease in fat thickness and a significant increase in the waist – hip ratio and concluded “…ultrasound cavitation is a safe, effective therapy for reduction of fat tissue thickness and (a) well-tolerated non-invasive procedure for body contouring.”

If you have a stubborn area of fat on your thighs or stomach, then cavitation may be the best treatment for you.

How does it work?

Cavitation treatment is a painless technology that uses ultrasound waves tuned to a low frequency to help form bubbles in the tissues where the fat cells are located. The bubbles expand and then immediately collapse. The the energy release from the imploding bubbles damage the fat cells’ membrane, releasing the fat into the spaces between the cells and triggering the body to destroy the damaged cells. The fat is then converted by the body into compounds which are consumed by the muscles or broken down by the liver and then naturally eliminated from the body.

How do I get started?

The first step is to come in for a consultation. Our certified therapists will talk you through the treatment and will ensure that there are no contra-indications. Cavitation is a professional therapy and it’s essential that a thorough interview is conducted prior to any treatment commencing.
